When NFL teams report to training camp, every club believes it can be a playoff contender. Parity in the NFL has made this a realistic dream because there are usually a few teams that finish well below .500 one season but make the playoffs the next. Projecting improved teams is easier than dete...

Ever wondered which division has housed the most Super Bowl winners overall? That answer would be the NFC East with 12 Super Bowl victories: five by Dallas, four by the New York Giants and three by Washington. However, the NFC East is considered one of the NFL betting long shots to have a Super...

Manning has won the award in 2003, 2004, 2008, 2009 and last season. He certainly earned last year’s award as he set records for yards passing an...

While the vast majority of starters around the NFL played very little in their teams' preseason openers, that should change with the second week of football betting games. The book will offer Live NFL Betting Friday on Eagles-Patriots and Chargers-Seahawks, Saturday on Packers-Rams and Rav...

You shouldn’t read too much into anything that happens in the preseason, unless it involves a serious injury. For example, in 2007 the New England Patriots lost their first two exhibition games and then ran the table in the regular season. That being said, things aren’t looking good for tho...

The Atlanta Falcons haven't been a hugely popular team in the NFL since Michael Vick ungracefully left town. However, their appearance in HBO’s series “Hard Knocks” has put the team back in the limelight, and more people are reconsidering their NFL betting value.
Entering last season...

This week will see the first full schedule of NFL exhibition games, and all eyes will be on Saturday night's NFL Network game between the Browns and Lions. Both teams were under .500 last year, and neither has a great chance of changing that this season. Regardless, the game is a big deal ...

Exactly six months and one day after the Seattle Seahawks upset the Denver Broncos at Super Bowl XLVIII, the 2014 exhibition season opens. On Sunday night, the Buffalo Bills and New York Giants will face off in the annual Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. Buffalo opened as a 2-point football b...

The first thing many people who bet on NFL do at the end of a season is look at the following year's opponents and the degree of difficulty in each team's schedules. So is there anything to gain from this insight when it comes to the NFL futures? It depends on the projected quality of...

Donald Penn isn't the offensive coordinator of the Oakland Raiders, but Penn, a free-agent signee from Tampa Bay, is the team's projected starting left tackle. So it's wise to listen to his statements about the team's 2014 game plan: "We're gonna run the ball, run the b...

NFL general managers are crossing their fingers that training camp will start before injury or suspension strikes their teams. That's because the GMs of the Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals and now Buffalo Bills already have major holes on defense. Those who bet on NFL ga...

The Philadelphia Eagles won the NFC East during coach Chip Kelly's first season in 2013 partly because of an effective offensive line that impressively saw all five starters play all 17 games (including playoffs). That's very tough to do with linemen prone to knee and leg injuries. If...

One of the most high-profile quarterback battles in college football is at perennial national title contender Louisiana State University. The Tigers finished 10-3 last season. They were 5-7-1 against the spread, and they beat Iowa at the Outback Bowl. What would have been a great season for man...
